The “Chronique” in the BCH
Chronique des fouilles was first
published in the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique (BCH) in 1920,
under the title “Chronique des fouilles et découvertes en Orient
hellénique ».Its aim was to offer an overview of all archaeological work
that took place each year in Greek lands.Over the years it has become
an important research tool for historians and archaeologists, teachers,
students and interested readers.The annual update of Chronique des
fouilles published in each BCH offers a unique research tool, compiling
material that is very often unpublished and will remain unpublished for
several years. As the amount of archaeological work conducted in Greece
increased and the extent of its reporting in printed articles grew each
year the decision was taken to turn the publication into an online
database. Chronique des fouilles en ligne / Archaeology in Greece Online
was therefore created in 2009 as a joint project with the British
School at Athens who were facing the same challenges with Archaeological
Reports.
Persée
The content of Bulletin de
Correspondance Hellénique is already digitized. It is online and open
access on the Persée platform (https://www.persee.fr/collection/bch).
Following this digitisation, the “Chronika” project was developed with
Persée in order to enrich Chronique des fouilles en ligne/AG Online with
older records. The project received 24 months of funding from the GIS
CollEx-Persée (AAP 2019) to add retrospectively all the older records of
the BCH (from before 2005) to the database in the same format as the
current records.
The “Chronika” Project
This
retrospective treatment will allow us to enhance the legacy texts with
digital information, such as georeferences, image galleries, metadata
(keywords, periods, linked field operations). It will allow an accurate
linking of the archaeological database, Chronique des fouilles en ligne,
to the online library which is Persée.fr. .
Consultation
The
retrospective records will be available on the AG Online platform as
normal, through the search engine with one or more criteria. A new
search term has been added to allow a search by year or BCH volume.
